Why is America still so ignorant about racism? Read this quote from a neighbor of George Zimmerman.

18. There are two other

Black families back here. One of them is really a mixed couple.

All of the kids my children grew up with were/are non Black. Those brats were just as much into the gangsta/hip hop crap as any inner city kid when they were teens. I guess they thought it was cool. They are all grown up now. Some are in the military, some in college, while others have started their families. Thank goodness no one thought they were suspicious looking when they wore their hoodies. But, then again, they are not black.

But, I had to constantly warn my kids, to be careful. I told them they didn't have the luxury of going to wild parties, drinking or driving just a little too fast. They needed to know that if their friends got into any kind of trouble, their lives would not be ruined or taken. My kids would not be treated the same as their peers.

When I look at Trayvon's face, I do not feel suspicion or fear. He looks like my son before he joined the military, lanky.
